a Mighty Word ~ weight

"The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1

Lined down the school's main hallway were coats left by students.  Fooled by a taste of warm weather, the coats were shed, left and forgotten prematurely. Spread out on a cold day, many were claimed for a continued need.  

Like wanting to shed the weight of a winter coat, i want to shed the burdensome weight of fear and anxiety.  But unlike the winter coats, the coat of fear can be tossed aside for good with complete confidence by trusting God.

Father, it's time. I am ready to lay my coat down. In remembering and believing Your immense love for us, the heavy weight of fear in our hearts can roll away, and we need not fear it's return. 
Thank You.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it.
